“Star Trek” teaser trailer and writer Q&A

Yahoo Movies has debuted the teaser trailer for JJ Abrams’ “Star Trek,” set for release this Christmas.  Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto star as a younger James T. Kirk and Spock at Starfleet Academy.  (Edit: It’s now also up at the official site.)

Also check out this interesting Q&A at Trekmovie.com with writer Roberto Orci.

Much more in the link, but a few interesting tidbits:  

TrekMovie.com: In my review I noted that the trailer seemed to be trying to make the connection from today to the future of Trek…was that the intention?

Roberto Orci: Absolutely. This is us. This is who we are. This is real. This is maybe not so far off in the future as it used to be. In the 60s the cell phone was a fantasy. Now the communicator that Kirk had is not as advanced as my iPhone. It is a different millennium for God’s sake. We are literally a century closer than we were before.
